Each year, an increasing number of pedestrians in Indiana are struck by vehicles, often due to driver negligence. Under Indiana law, motorists are required to exercise due care, including staying vigilant, slowing down at crosswalks, and never passing a stopped vehicle at a crosswalk. Despite these laws, accidents still happen, leaving victims facing medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional trauma.
If you’ve been hit by a vehicle, the steps you take immediately after the accident are crucial. First, prioritize your safety—if possible, move out of harm’s way. Next, contact the authorities and ensure a police report is filed. Identifying the driver and any witnesses can be key to building your case. Additionally, taking photographs of the accident scene, including the crosswalk, vehicle, and any visible injuries, can serve as valuable evidence.
